Chrome browsing history?

[only windows]

Hi,
Does anyone know a good extension for Chrome that allows me to clear all my browsing data (cache, history, lso ...)?
Thanks.

Can you not just go to Tools > Options > Under The Hood > Clear browsing data.

If you want a program to do it for you, you could give TFC a try. It will clear out all of your temp files, you don't have to install it, but it does require you to restart the computer when it finishes.

Also I assume you know about the 'New incognito window' in settings.

If you click it then it will open up a window where any surfing you do will be in total privacy and it will not store any browsing history etc.

Clear browsing data in Chrome does not clear all browsing data (flash lso, appcache, web storage)...

Yes, sure
but on Chrome's help:
Browsing in incognito mode only keeps Google Chrome from storing information about the websites you've visited. The websites you visit may still have records of your visit. Any files saved to your computer will still remain on your computer...

Basically what that means is, no data will be saved to your computer about where you visit. But, lets say you logon to a site you frequent often, and lets say that site has a last visited thing at the top, like Seven Forums does. When you visit that site again, it will show the time you visited it while in incognito mode as the last time you visited. Or lets say you login to youtube and watch a bunch of videos. The videos you watched will be considered when they recommend videos to you. There's nothing chrome can do about sites you log into storing information, clearing browsing data on your computer won't do anything about it either. Also, if you download a file and save to your computer, chrome will not erase the file, since you choose to save it.

For deleting everything from Chrome, if Clear Browsing Data really does not clear out everything, the only other thing I can recommend is Ccleaner.

Another one to look at and it is free is..

The free utilities and free undelete software.
I have used them for 3-4 years now. IMHO

Ah, are you sure??

Simple test:
go to HTML5 Demos and Examples,

try "offline application", "Web SQL Database Storage", "Storage" ...

then close your Chrome, go to your Chrome profile

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

here you can see Application cache folder, databases... then run your cleaner

...and what you see? APP cache, databases is not deleted... ... or you think it's good?

What's it mean, that some websites or web apps can save files to your computer...

@The Howling Wolves
Sorry, but I think the results will be similar

Any thoughts?

Fantastic results and great features, particularly, cleaning upon Chrome exit

Test in facts:

Install extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod

then go to HTML5 Demos and Examples

try "offline application", "Web SQL Database Storage", "Storage" ...

go to Chrome profile

here I can see Application cache folder, databases...

then when I close Chrome, Click&Clean automatically clear my browsing data...

go to Chrome profile ...and what I see? App cache, databases is deleted!!

It's really awesome!

Thank you very much!!
